ISSUE 3: COMES THE GRAY DAWN

COMES THE GREY DAWN!

Someday bugs really may evolve past us, and devour us, and dance merrily on our half-eaten carcasses and surely they will keep evolving. Perhaps they will take on more humanoid characteristics, as well as keep their insect-like attributes. Author Marvin Wolfman and illustrator Rich Buckler speculated on this theory and came up with this special comic strip, which shows what life will be among insect people.

Marv and Rich experimented in this strip, trying a new direction in storytelling, showing the dying thoughts of one insect-man who mourns for his insect-humanoid wife, for she has just been slain by marauding pillagers of another phylum. The last hope and thought of the dying insect-creature is that the insect-child he and his wife created, which is about to hatch from its cocoon, will be safe in a world of hostile warring petty tribal groups of humanoid insects.
